Spielberg had always intended to keep the CGI in Jurassic Park to a minimum. While the advancements of CGI were far more limited back in 1993 when compared to modern times, Jurassic Park revolutionized the use of moderate CGI. The film was awarded a well-earned Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in 1994.
Interstellar
Whether you believe it or not, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar didn't use a single green screen. Nolan shot the entire film on a single handheld IMAX camera. Although Interstellar is a space epic, the film steered away from CGI in favor of detailed physical sets. Instead, the crew projected space onto 60-foot-tall backdrops in order for the actors to engage more authentically with the world Nolan had built around them.
